7:00 am
good morning. it is monday, january 28th, 2013. welcome to "cbs this morning." word overnight of a senate deal on immigration. it could change the lives of millions living in the shadows. a dangerous ice storm move to the northeast, and survivors of a deadly fight fire in brazil say guards kept victims inside. new hope in the battle against breast cancer. researchers find more people survive when they have less invasive treatment. but we begin this morning with look at today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> we have virtually been going
7:01 am
for maybe 25 years without a clear statement about immigration policy. that's unacceptable in this nation of immigrants. >> key lawmakers reach agreement on immigration reform. >> under a plan being announced today, more than 10 million immigrants would be granted legal status. >> president obama will travel to las vegas this week to introduce s ideas. >> latinos support, democrats want it and republicans need it. >> the president has declared three days of national mourning following one of the worst nightclubs in history. >> 300 have been killed, 117 have been treated. >> another storm is moving from the midwest into the northeast with a dangerous mix of dangerous rain, sleet, and snow. >> i have to ask you, what's the date of expiration on thi then doorsment? >> i have to tell you. you guys are incorrigible.
7:02 am
>> watch out when you use your credit card. some retailers can now charge up to 3% more. >> incredible foam whipped up by a storm. >> all that -- >> and the actor goes to -- daniel day-lewis. >> and the actor goes to the cast of "argo." >> i can't believe i'm standing in the place where daniel day-lewis just was. >> -- and all that matters -- >> how unhappy do you think joe biden is in the wings who's in the wings. >> -- on "cbs this morning." >> ray lewis, just the wall of emotions he brings through this game. he can't make it through the "national anthem" without tearing up. >> i'm going to the 50 yard line at the super bowl, kneel down,
7:03 am
and then ask --. welcome to "cbs this morning." today senators from both sides of the aisle will announce a deal on sweeping immigration reform. >> the bill could lead to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants now living in the u.s. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> good morning, norah and charlie. well, immigration is one of those issues that is so contentious here on capitol hill that it seems the two sides would never see eye to eye, but the presidential election appears to have changed that, and now a bipartisan group of eight senators is poised to announce their plan today. illinois democrat dick durbin is one of those senators. he says the stars have finally aligned on this major issue. >> we have virtually been going for maybe 25 years without a clear statement about immigration policy. that's unacceptable in this nation of immigrants. >> the plan laid out in this
7:04 am
five-page documents put together by gang of eight senators would overhaul the immigration system. the plan includes a pathway to citizenship for the roughly 11 million immigrants already in the country. it would require those with no serious criminal background to register with the government, pay a fine and back taxes, but not before federal authorities put more unmanned drones and agents along the border. the plan also includes a guest worker program that loosens restrictions for people who work in the agricultural industry as well as their children. robert mendez helped draft the bill. >> first of all they expect it, democrats need it and republicans need it. >> the last time there was an overhaul was in 2007 but the bill pushed by president george w. bush went down in flames
7:05 am
after republicans argued it was amnesty for illegal immigrants. senator john mccain says things will be different this time. >> i'll give you a straight talk. look at the last election. look at the last election. we are losing dramatic will i the hispanic vote which we think should be ours for a variety of reasons, and we've got to understand that. >> this plan would enable illegal immigrants who are already here in the country to gain legal status if they have no criminal background, though they would still have goat in back of the line to gate citizenship. it would also allow foreign workers who have high skills like engineers to come to the country and get visas. the president, we're told by the white house, is pleased with the proposal, and he's going to be making his case for sweeping immigration reform in las vegas tomorrow. >> nancy cordes, thank you. washington is above about last night's "60 minutes" where they saw president obama and c
7:06 am
secretary clinton sitting down. they talked about the challenges of putting aside their once heated rivalry. >> i spent time with both of you in the 2008 campaign. that was a very touch, bitter race, and i'm going to spare you reading some of the things that you said about each other during that campaign. but how long did it take you to get over that, and when did it happen? >> you know, it didn't take as long as i think people would perceive. as i said, once the primary was over, hillary worked very hard for me. bill worked very hard for me. so we were interacting on a fairly regular basis. i think it was harder for the staffs, which is understandable, you know, because they get invested in this stuff in ways that i think the candidates maybe don't. you know, hillary mentioned, you know, part of our bond is we've
7:07 am
been through a lot of the same stuff. and part of being through the same stuff is getting whacked around in political campaigns, being criticized in the press. you know, we both built some pretty thick skins, and, you know, sometimes our staffs don't go through that. so they are taking umbrage and offense and they're reading every blog and every tweet and, you know, most of the time, you know, hillary, i suspect, you know, handles this the same way i do. we kind of have a block -- a screen from a lot of the silliness that happens during presidential campaigns. and so for me at least, you know, by the time hillary joined the administration, i felt very confident and comfortable in our working relationship. i think what did evolve was a friendship as opposed to just a professional relationship. friendships involve a sense of
7:08 am
trust and being in the foxhole together, and that emerged during the course of months when we were making some very tough decisions. >> you said the staff took a little longer to forget the campaign stuff. what about the spouses? >> well, the -- what i -- what i was going to say, steve, is having been a spouse, having been a candidate, i think spouses take it much harder. >> yeah. >> you know, in a way -- >> there's no doubt. >> -- just as the president said, we're out there responding minute by minute and you just don't have time to sit around and, you know, think about what insult you felt you suffer. i can remember, you know, watching my husband do debates. i was like this and he was relaxed and everything like that. and then when the shoes were on the other feet, all of a sudden, you know, this calm, cool guy who never was upset by anything is all of a sudden watching me. so, look. that is just ancient history now. it's ancient history because of
7:09 am
the kind of people we all are, but also we're professionals. >> i thought that was a good point. we're professionals. but it is a long way from where they were in 2008 in that little primary battle where president obama sarkd welling you're likeable enough, hillary. this time they were leaning into each other. there was clearly a warmness between them. >> it was fascinating to watch the body language, how they were really enjoying the process, like do we really have to go through this. the state department has confirmed yesterday that friday will be secretary of state clinton's last day in washington. john dickerson joins us. john, let me begin with this. is this that the time has come or can we, too, i think election results. >> it goes back to karl rove, who was george bush's top strategist in 2000 and then murphy in 2008.
7:10 am
now the election results have spoken louder than those two strategists and the entire party -- well, not the entire party, but a lot of its loudest voices have come on board with this idea. so you have the moment here where both parties are anxious to see this. >> can you believe that the common ground will lead to successful legislation? >> well, the way things are now, you have to be skeptical about progress, but you do have a group of republicans who want a deal here. now the question is on the details. the question question is why won't this be like immigration -- immigration process in the past? say the one reagan passed? that's what makes republicans skeptical. you get what these republicans call amnesty but no enforcement. so you get the politically beneficial part, the part that allows these undocumented workers to come in under the shadows but then you don't enforce the border measures that
7:11 am
keep more people from coming in. >> john, mitt romney in the exit polls got 27% of the hispanic vote. that was the lowest number since bob dole got. how much o this is about 2016, the future of the republican party and the need to court the fastest growing minority group in the country, hispanics? >> well, you heard the clip of john mccain basically saying it's all about that. but that's not entirely true. you have a lot of business leaders who are saying at both ends of the immigration scale, both the agricultural workers but then also the high-tech workers, there needs to be -- there's an economic imperative for straightening out the american system and there's a part of the american fabric they we are part of the imgation and there has to be something done for that for moral reasons as well. speaking of 2016 and returning to the "60 minutes" interview last night, to see the warmness i mentioned between president obama and hillary clinton, what do you think joe biden thought of it all?
7:12 am
>> well, i think he was probably looking on the calendar for his "60 minutes" interview to be scheduled for 2015. hillary clinton just came out of that bruising hearing. this is a much better image to be leaving with. >> joe biden will have an opportunity to do things over the next four years. >> that's right. he'll have his moments and he'll hope for some kind of final picture they can wrap into a couple of campaign ads. so we'll see. >> john dickerson, good to see you. thanks so much. and this morning another winter storm is bringing a mix of snow, sleet, and ice from the midwest to the northeastern states. the winter weather is causing travel delays already. the federal government is being opened late and drivers are being told to go slow. many schools are closed or have delayed their openings, and a winter weather advisory is in
7:13 am
effect until this afternoon. in iowa, ice-covered roads were too slick for travel. a chain-reaction accident sent several cars and trucks off the road. meteorologist mike agustiniak is following the storm. >> that's going to build parter to the east. in fact, the ice working through central pennsylvania, southern tier of new york. upstate new york starts to get it and so will new york city and boston in time for the evening commute. so a messy drive home there. snow fall total wise it looks like quite a bit from the adirondacks to the catskills to the berkshires. in some terrain, 1 to 3 inches of snow. that includes downtown boston 1rks to 3 inches. icing wise, this is that freezing ice, that glazing ice,

snow in the poconos. in new york city, maybe a thin koetding. washington, d.c., maybe the same thing. milder air as we go through tomorrow with temperatures approaching record highs. with "cbs this morning," i'm mike augustyniak from minneapolis. the same horror has struck brazil. more than 230 people died yesterday early morning after a club packed with young people caught fire. it happened in a college town in southern brazil. margaret brennan shows us how the building became a death trap. >> reporter: initial reports suggest the fire started during a band's pie trolltech nick display. it took only minutes for the blaze to race through the crowded venue, standing a stampede of at least a thousand partygoers looking for the exit. but there was only one way out. security blocked the exits fearing that customers were fleeing their bar tabs.
7:15 am
some panicked patrons mistook the bathrooms for an escape and died down there. rescuers chopped down exterior walls trying to reach those trapped. most died from asphyxiation, others were trampled or crushed. many were dressing wounds and performing cpr in the streets. hundreds are being treated in the hospital. they are promising to provide authorities with any needed information. the fatal incident is being treated as a national tragedy in brazil. the president cut short a state trip to chile returning home to meet with families and pledging support. we stand together at this time and even though there's a lot of sadness, we will pull through. families of the victim spent sunday waiting to claim the bodies of their loved ones as authorities worked to identify
7:16 am
the hundreds killed. army soldiers were deployed to carry away corpses. 101 of them were students from the local university in santa maria. for "cbs this morning," margaret brennan. riot irs took to the streets for a fifth straight day. there's a report this morning the army will now be allowed to arrest civilians. on sunday president mohammed morsi declared a state of emergency in three cities hit hard by the protest. more than 50 people were killed the weekend. in the west african nation of mali there's progress. government forces backed by the french have taken control of two key cities. elizabeth palmer is in central mali this morning. >> reporter: french and malian troops have now surrounded the legendary city of timbuktu. they're at the airport and they're waiting for special forces to clear the town inside so they can roll in. this follows more than a week of air strikes, and it does mean
7:17 am
that two of the most important cities in mali's north are now back in french and government's hands. the other one fell over the weekend. and has been the case whenever the government and troops have ruled through tourns, the local people have lined the streets and welcomed them. the islamists do appear by and large be melting away rather than standing and fighting but the french ministry is warning that they may be plarning to regroup and return, and certainly the challenge of securing this area for the french with the help of the armies of various neighboring african countries is enormous. it's great big area of desert, almost twice the size of texas. for "cbs this morning," elizabeth palmer in central mali. it's time to show you some of this morning's headlines.

herbalife very closely. >> two investors arguing about herbalife and each other on national television. rebecca jarvis is with us. good morning. >> good morning, charlie and norah. most people on the street may not recognize bill ackman or carl icahn, but on wall street they're legendary investor activists. on friday they revived a decades-old feud and raised big questions about the weight loss maker herbalife. bill ackman controls about $12 billion in assets and he has his sights set on herbalife. >> how is it that herbalife sells six times more than abbott labs, euna lever, and gnc. the answer? he says it's a pyramid scheme. when the hedge fund manager went

on cnbc friday, the share price dropped to its lowest price of the day. >> we believe this is a company causing enormous harm to millions of people and has done so over a very long period of time. >> reporter: but minutes later the price soared when another activist investor carl icahn, who won't say whether he owns herbalife stock, called in and accused ackman of trying to manipulate the market. >> you have retirees that are going to lose their money so ackman can show a good record at the end of the year. >> reporter: at times the insults turned very personal as the two traded insults over herbalife and a long feud, a business deal that ended up in cord where icahn lost. >> ackman is a liar. >> this issue seems to be dating back many, many years and maybe it was festering for many years.
7:33 am
there is serious bad blood. >> but all that took a back street as wall street was riveted by the theater of two powerful billionaires airing their grievances. listen as traders react to icahn dropping ex-pleaives. >> let me do this. you tend to listen. >> and i spoke with bill ackman last night. he called the cnbc exchange with icahn a side show but he doesn't regret it. he believes he's bringing attend to what he called a fraud at her ba light. we're certain to hear more from company executives by the february 19th earnings call. >> this is a fascinating story and i've been following it for several weeks and it blew up on
7:34 am
friday. also the s.e.c. is investigating herbalife. what does that mean? >> well, the s.e.c. has yet to take action but they are investigating it. the other thing is that bill ackman is meeting with regulators. that's been a part of his short position. he's continued to meet with local and federal investigators and he told me last night he's going to be submitting a list of questions. herbalife says ask me anything, we'll answer it on the record. he's putting together a list of questions that he's planning to have go public. >> this is part of a public fight like what he had with dan loeb. >> certainly short sellers win. like you mentioned bill ackman is on one side of this and there are other high-profile investors including dan loeb. >> do we have any suspicion as to where icahn is or simply bad blood? >> there have been a couple of people who have speculated about what carl icahn's position may or may not be in herbalife, but
7:35 am
as of now, he's been on the record saying that he won't admit to owning herbalife. >> all right. thank you. >> rebecca jarvis, thanks. u.s. anti-doping agency is giving lance armstrong one more chance to answer under oath. if he doesn't do so, it will be considered irreversible. >> he suggested that cycling in those years was a level playing field because everyone did it. he wasn't doing anything special. >> it's just simply not true. the access they had to inside information, to how the tests work, what tests went in place at what time, special access to the laboratory. he was the one on in entirely different playing field than all the other athletes even if you assume they had some access to other doping products. >> armstrong admitted in the
7:36 am
interview to doping throughout his seven tour de france victories. he tried to make a comeback in 2009. he admitted the first seven, but those last two races in '09 and 2010, he did not dope, he was racing clean. >> just contrary to testified. the evidence is clear. the blood tests in 2009, 2010, expert reports based on the variation of his blood values from those tests, one to a million chance that it was due to something other than doping. >> you have to wonder why if he admits to doping in the first seven tour de france races, why he would proclaim his innocence in 2009 and 2010. >> i think it stops the criminal conspiracy and protects him and the others that helped him pull off this scheme from potential criminal prosecution if that, in fact, is true. >> how does that help in that
7:37 am
way? >> there's a five-year statute on fraud criminal charge. so the five years today would have been expired. however, if the last point of his doping as we alleged and approved in our recent decision was in 2010, then the statute has not yet expire and he potentially could be charged with a criminal violation for conspiracy to defraud. >> so we'll be watching next wednesday to see whether armstrong makes some further admission. >> and will he be criminally liable if something turns up about 2010. all right. now to this usual story. a mother from new york has vanished. now her family is headed to turkey, hoping to find her. their story is next on "cbs this morning." living with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis means living with pain. it could also mean living with joint damage.

7:49 am
stages. dr. rache simmons is chief of medical. doctor, good to see you. what do you think suggests that maybe not surgery but radiation would be a better route? >> lumpectomy and radiation has a survival advantage over mastectomy. i have to say i receive skepticism on this because we've known for a long time they're equal and it's counterintuitive to suggest there's an advantage. we definitely saw in the study that the main advantage were in patients that actually were what we call e.r. positive, receptor positive, and over age groups over 50. those are the best cancers anyway, the best prognostic indicators. so its may be there's a bias to suggest there's a better outcome in those patients. >> this was a study done at duke university. >> it was.
7:50 am
>> your skepticism is about the methodology about the study or -- >> correct. it's a big study. however, it's retrospective. . and they always have an element of bias. physicians recommend it where in others they think they're a better candidate. it's hard to tees that out in a retrospective study. >> who benefitted the most from the lumpectomy and the radiation route? >> the highest was those over 50 and had the best prognostic tumors. >> what if you have just been diagnosed and you heard this study. and a lot of people say i'm not sure what i should do. >> talk with your surgeon about what's appropriate for you. there are certainly some patients where mastectomy is a better choice and that could be
7:51 am
patients who have more than one tumor in the best and that's the only way to rid the body of cancer. the other would be patients who we know are very high risk for another breast cancer. so it may but that lumpectomy could treat it but we're worried about the second or third that will come in years to follow. >> why is there so much more less invasive surgery today? is the technique better? >> the technique is better. they allow us to use devices to make shaller incisions and remove tumors that wouldn't have been possible years ago. >> all right. dr. rache simmons. good to see you. >> thank you. president obama on "60 minutes" with hillary clinton. we'll hear what he has to say about her and her future next on "cbs this morning."

good morning to you. it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." snow and ice are making a mess of the northeast. we'll show you where else the weather is causing trouble. and is president obama ready to endorse hillary clinton to succeed him? you'll see what he told "60 minutes" in their very first joint interview. but first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> it's so con ten sus on chile that it seemed the two sides would never see eye to eye. >> today they will announce a deal on sweeping immigration
8:01 am
reform. >> the bill could lead to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants now living in the u.s. >> the 2008 campaign, that was a very tough, bitter race. how long did it take you to get over that? >> i think what did evolve was a friendship as opposed to just a professional relationship. >> what do you think joe biden thought of it all? >> i think he was looking on the calendar for his first "60 minutes" interview for 2015. >> a club in brazil, people killed after the building caught fire. >> a little bit of ice this morning in washington. >> new research this morning suggests that less may be more when it comes to treating breast cancer. >> what i suggest is lum pepect and radiation. >> a plane had to landed after a
8:02 am
fire struck the engine. >> are we on the right track of the nation? >> i'll get to that. but first things first, did you see that girl beyonce? >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. later today a group of republican and democratic senates will introduce a bill that changes the laws. >> it helps with undocumented immigrants in this country along with employers. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. >> good morning. this is where a group of senators, four democrats, four republicans announce they'd had reached a deal on a comprehensive overall of the nation's immigration system. they released a five-page document outlining their frame wachovia and it including first and foremost a pass to citizen ship for those illegal
8:03 am
immigrants in this country right now. before all that, federal authorities would put more unmanned drones and agents along the border to improve border security. immigration is an issue that both sides say is at the top of their agenda, particularly republicans after president obama won 70% of the latino votes in the 2012 election. nancy cordes for "cbs this morning" on capitol hill. president obama lays out his vision for immigration reform tomorrow in las vegas. last night on "60 minutes" president obama had high praise for secretary of state hillary clinton in their first ever joint interview. part of that conversation focused as many in washington are on 2016. >> what's the date of expiration on this endorsement? >> oh, steve. you know, i -- >> i have to ask that question. i mean come on. you're sitting here together. everybody in town is talk about it already. and this is -- it's taking place. >> you know, steve, i've got to
8:04 am
tell you. you guys and the press are incorrigible. i was literally inaugurated four days ago, and you're talking about elections four years from now. >> and i am -- as you know, steve, i'm still secretary of state and i'm out of politics so i'm forbidden from hearing these questions. you know, look. obviously the president and i care deeply about what's going to happen for our country in the future, and i don't think, you know, either he or i can make predictions about what's going to happen tomorrow or the next year. what we've tried to do over the last four years is get up every day, have a clear eye view of what's going on in the world. and i'm really proud of where we are. >> mayor garrett is at the white house. all right, major, so you heard president obama say last night part of the point of the int interview is was this about him
8:05 am
giving some sort of endorsement for the future or something else? >> you have to take the president at his word but i know those who looket add the interview took away one of two things. they wanted to send a very clear signal that the feud is over, they worked together and may work together in the future. you saw secretary of state clinton say we can't predict what's going to happen a year from now or farther down the road. that's more expansive than she was recently like last year when she spoke with barbara walters and said she didn't think she hadfuture. the president was next to her saying if she has a political future, i may well be part of it. >> i thought steve kroft's interview at the beginning got to the heart of the matter. he said it's surprising to see the two of you together, i never thought we'd see this. if you look at hillary, does she look to be the candidate if she
8:06 am
decides to run? >> they say she would be the prohibitive front-runner but joe biden the vice president has come up strong in the last six months. i know the visuals between the president and secretary of state were very powerful. they see the president standing alongside vice president joe biden. so the president and the vice president have also spent a lot of time right next to each other. and in politics, visibility counts more than anybody else. and joe biden is going to be seen by the public in crucial, possibly legislative and important roles. secretary of state will not be and that will give an advantage to biden. >> everybody is still thinking about 2016 even though the inauguration was just the beginning of last week. >> right. >> one other thing to look at. look at 2014 because thee candidates are going to be campaigning for members of the
8:07 am
house and the senate. that's really how you build your presidential campaign two years before. so one of the best indicators to come of the 2016 aspirations will be, how clinton and bind will be on the campaign trail. >> thank you. when you work long and strange hours you don't get a lot of sleep. we know that. researchers find as we age, changes in our body can interfere with the quality of our sleep. that hurts to store long-term memories. doctors say exercise will help you sleep better. >> when do we do that? somebody tell me. >> >> right before you go to bed. it will cost you more to mail a letter. the price of a first-class stache has gone up a penny to 46 cents. it's the second year in a row. but mail volume has plunged because more people are using their i'm. the postal service will run out of money by october. >> does that mean all those
8:08 am
stamps i have left over from christmas, i have to get a one-cent stamps? >> that's what it means. but i still use stamps. >> all right another winter storm is moving from the upper midwest to the east coast this morning. here's what it looks like on the roads of wisconsin. a midweek warmup is on the way. the winter weather advisories are on the way all the way to massachusetts. mike augustyniak from minneapolis is following the storm. good morning. >> good morning. we'll get a second round later tonight. the fun has begun. ice earlier this morning in washington, d.c. the rain is done. we'll stay that way for the rest of the day. pretty good icing working through parts of upstate new york to eastern pennsylvania to new york city around lunch and a changeover to rain there. snow will build into boston late this afternoon through an evening commute. it all sets up warmer pattern for later in tweak, but in the
8:09 am
short term it looks like snow in upstate new york and new england and ice-wise, the poconos will get particularly hard hit, maybe quarter inch or more which could bring down some trees and power lines. guys, back to you. >> all right, mike. got it. thanks. severe weather smothered australia's east coast with a messy sea foam. high winds pushed the foam on land covering one beach town. in some areas the foam was almost 10 feet high. some said it's not that bad. they decided to play in the foam and take some pictures. it was a blowout in an unusual moment. jeff saturday lined up with the afc squad for one day. saturday is retiring but he got to snap the ball one last time to his long-time teammate peyton manning. the nfc crushed the afc, 62-35.
8:10 am
>> that does count as a crush, doesn't it? >> yeah, it does. >> 62-35. yikes. meanwhile super bowl week is still under way in nooeps. the san francisco 49ers flew the team flag as their plane arrived yesterday. the baltimore ravens are traveling to new orleans later today. and remember you can watch the ravens and niners on super bowl xlvii right here on cbs. we'll be there thursday, friday, and saturday as we come to you live from super bowl

8:33 am
they sound convenient, great concept. you don't want somebody coming in. a lot of those actually charge you for them and even some of the new ones have electronic areas where you can charge your laptop in the safe. sounds good? right? here's the problem. under inkeeper laws in the united states, they're not liable for anything lost in those hotel safes so why would you even put it in there. the point is they're a joke. the bottom line is go downstairs and if you have anything that's valuable to check, do it in a safe deposit box behind a front desk. theechb the inn keeper laws. check your homeowners policy to cover your valuable. >> i never have anything to put in the safe. but i always have something to put in the trash. you're saying you should be -- >> nice segue. >> you're saying squlould be careful about what you put in the trash. >> sure. because a lot of the hacking cases and credit card cases happen at hotels because of easy
8:34 am
access to what? those receipts, credit card receipts. and if you're checking into a hotel, don't necessarily use a debit card because hotels block those charges and you can find out your entire balance is not available to you until five days later. bottom line, keep them in a sep pratt place and whatever you do don't keep all your credit cards in one wall ed. spread them between two bags. >> that's a lot of work, peter. >> either that or i'm going shopping on your card. >> it's a good idea, but it's just -- >> the third thing you say is -- i agreement one purpose and one wallet. >> how many cards do you have? >> a couple. >> and the first thing you say is stay alert at check-in. i don't know about you guys. i check in late and i'm like, hello, hand me my key. >> this is a big problem. when you're checking in and i say, oh, miss o'donnell you'll

be staying at 432 and announced that verbally, everyone can hear that. number two that results in what we see called push-in roub robbery. it's like this. you go to your room on the foushlg floor. you already have your carry-on bag. i go behind you, i get out on the sixth. i'm getting off on the fourth. you walk down the hall and i wait for you to fumble with the key and the minute i hear the click i run up, push you and the door in and now we have a real problem because that's what the push-in robbery is all about. >> wait a minute. this is kind of a little scary. >> that's why i'm here. >> what keep of hotels you staying at? >> here's what you do. when you get your card key, whether they announce it or not skrks to be escorted to your room by a uniformed member of the staff. >> i do think it's good advice when you hear your room being shouted out. that's happen add couple of times. >> not a good idea.
8:36 am
>> gayle king, room 4. >> they don't do but they say you're staying in room 202. >> are we on number five? >> number four. key cards are not what they think they are. >> that's the biggest urban smith. that the black magnetic stripe has all your vital information and peel can use it to basic igly compromise your credit. not true. all it has is a couple letters of your last name and when you're checking in and out. number five, that's something that's really important about safety. never stay above the fourth floor in any hotel around the world and never stay -- are you loving this and never stay above the eighth floor in the u.s. hotel because there's not a single fire department who's going to effectively fight a fire above the eighth floor. if you want a high-rise view
8:37 am
with great view, you'll have a firefighter unable to reach you. why would you do that? >> i feel like we need armed guards. >> i'm sticking with the top floor. >> the penthouse is really lovely, i heard. >> a lot of credit cards up there i heard. the record-breaking success of the "phantom of the opera" is really quite real. over the weekend as michelle miller shows us, it marks an unprecedented milestone. >> reporter: it's not every day a show celebrated 25 years on the great white wave. in fact, it's never happened for -- ♪ the darkness of the music of the night ♪ >> reporter: for a quarter of a century, "phantom of the opera" has been delivering the music of the night at the majestic theater with more than 10,000 performances.
8:38 am
it is by far the longest running broadway musical of all time. >> none of us could possibly have known. >> the phantom was created in 1909 by french righter gaston leru and it was first brought the to life in a 19 ta silent film, but it was the musical that really put the phantom on the map. the show is played in 145 cities across 27 countries. and in new york alone has grossed nearly $900 million. when the show debuted in january 1988, its visual effects were considered stunning. director hall prince gave us a tour, even taking us beneath the stage. >> reporter: i mean is this what most pits look like? >> no, of course not.
8:39 am
usually nothing in the pits but this show deliver as lot from the floor. >> reporter: today those effects including a chandelier that crashes to the stage can seem almost quaint. >> and this is the famous chandelier. >> i always hate when people describe the show as about the chandelier because it isn't, of course. >> reporter: it is at its heart a love story, something that came as a surprise. even to the show's computer and righter andrew lloyd weber who along with sara brightman reported his recollections for the anniversary celebrations. >> i remember finding the book in new york and reading it one afternoon and thinging, you know, it's not the same as i remember. it's not a source of a funny thing with somebody coming out and saying boo from behind a chandelier. it's actually about a romance. >> sierra bogas is the latest to
8:40 am
play the female lead christine. >> it's able to withstand the test of time because it's still current and it's the ultimate understood dog story. >> hugh pinera, one of 12 men to play the phantom has donned the mask for more than 1,900 performances. >> i think this show touches all of us on a very deep level that transcended the beautiful score or the scenery or the costumes or the love triangle. i think it's on a pretty primal level. >> reporter: when the show first opened in new york, it had already been a hit for two years in london. still not all the critics took to it kindly. one review in "the new york times" called it psychologically lightweight, yet the show has not only survived. it has thrived.
8:41 am
what makes this appeal to the generation of millennials the same way that it appeared to the '80s set? >> i just think that everybody wants a little idealistic romance in his life. i don't think that will ever change. as long as there are people, they yearn for some connection to other people. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," i'm michelle miller in new york. >> nicely done. i've seen phantom nine times because i love the music so much. i've seen it nine times. somebody comes to town, you want to take them to something good, the music never gets old. >> does it change much when you see it nine times? >> no, it doesn't, because i love the music. >> and sara brightman is one of
8:42 am
my favorites. during the break i'll give you a performance. >> go ahead. >> gayle, save me. do you have trouble forgiving those who have done something wrong? yes, i do.

8:45 am
>> i'm excited to be here. >> we're excited too. >> you say forgiveness is a sign of strength. a lot of people don't get that. >> we think we're stronger if we're angry but it takes a lot of strength to go. >> i have a "you are dead to me" list with one person on it. is that forgiveness? i told my daughter about it and she said, mom, maybe you'd better keep reading. >> i don't think it's so important that you put the person on the list as you put the incident on the list. when you put the person on the list you don't give people the privilege to change and people do change. >> is everybody capable of being forgiven? should everybody be given a chance to be forgiven? >> it frees you from the past and liberates you so you can move on, giving whour whole energy to what is before you ran
8:46 am
than what's behind you. >> i grew up in the catholic faith and that's something we talk about in the atlantic faith as well. forgiveness. how do you do it though? >> you know, i think a lot of times we have trouble do it because we associate forgiveness with emotions. really it's a conscious decision and it's something you give yourself so you can move forward. it announces that what is in front of you is more important than what's behind you. >> somebody said forgive but don't forget. >> i don't think you can forget. to ask someone to forget is unreasonable. but you can remember the incident without carrying the pain. it's like having a scar that doesn't hurt. you know what happened. take what's good out of it, learn from it and take what's bad and move forward and predeprepr progress. >> and it does not exonerate the person. clearly i have people on the list. >> who are the people on the
8:47 am
list? >> it was three. now it's two. >> what happened to the others? >> i let it go. yowl deliver spiritual advice to president bush, president obama -- how important is it for a president to have faith? >> i think it's important. i think it's a very stressful job. our demands and expectations are beyond human come preheng and to be able to submit to a higher power, i think, is important when possible. >> i ask this with great curiosity. tell me the source of your strength and why you seem to have been so successful what you do. >> that's an interesting question. i think some parts of it are due to my transparency and my ability to connect with people. i think you have to love people. it's more to it than loving god. you have to love god but you also have to love people. remain curious. remain a student all of your life and not become so informed
8:48 am
that you risk opportunities to be increased by your involvement, not only with professors, with children, with everybody to watch life. i'm a voyeur of life itself. >> what's your biggest concern with people that you council? >> we're receiving information so quickly, we're inundated with things that are appropriated totrue that have not been examined. so we've built monuments based on nothing. i think when we stop reading, we stop thinking. we go to the simply down graded solutions. >> what was the hard oeft thies for you to forgive? >> raising children was the most difficult. i said that add less end stage really threw me for a loop because i thought it with us going to last.
8:49 am
